Chapter 863: Who Plagiarized Who
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
While everyone was discussing Xia Xibei, someone dug up the footage of Xia Qinghan and Hong Zhenhan.
They took screenshots of the two’s performance, especially Xia Qinghan’s expression when she almost tripped Hong Zhenhan and then looked upset, which was circled around.
[The two of them really don’t get along! Otherwise, she wouldn’t be so disgusted, right?]
[Wow! It’s so obvious! What’s with their feud? Who stole whose boyfriend?]
[It’s Xia Qinghan who almost b.u.mped into Hong Zhenhan, and she’s mad?! So shameless!]
[There were rumors that they didn’t get along before. Now it looks like it’s true!]
[Are you guys overthinking? Sometimes it’s normal to accidentally b.u.mp into each other and then reflexively have a bad expression, okay?]
[Normal? I laughed and didn’t say anything.]
[I heard that the two of them don’t seem to talk to each other in private!]
[Do you have clairvoyant eyes or ears? How do you hear everything?! You’re spreading rumors!]
[Not to say that the two get along or not, I just want to say that “The s.h.i.+ning Girls” was established in too short a time. There’s not enough tacit understanding and cooperation among the members! Can’t they practice more before coming out? Don’t they have enough to be ashamed of?]
[It’s all about the money! Don’t you know that?]
[The girls are already working very hard! Besides, they’re doing great!]
[What a low bar! You call that a good performance? Would you please open your eyes and look at the others before you say anything?]
[Sister Bei is the best! She’s amazing!]
[Sister Bei is great! Her live performance is as good as in the studio!]
[I’m kneeling for Sister Bei! I’m so impressed! I want to scream!]
[Oh, it’s Sister Bei again. Sister Bei is the best in the world!]
[What? Your idol is not doing well, and you want to step on others? Do you not see how pathetic they are? How dare you compare them? You’re blind, we’re not blind!]
[Yes, and this is Sister Bei’s own song!]
[Sister Bei is amazing. She can write and sing, she’s amazing!]
After the show was aired, the internet was in an uproar.
This was a normal development after the show, so no one cared.
While everyone was making a lot of noise, a Weibo tweet jumped out and managed to get everyone’s attention.
[Am I hearing it wrong? How come it feels like this song is so similar to the melody of “Brave”?]
A link was also attached.
The words startled everyone.
Was this… Plagiarism?!
Everyone immediately clicked on the link, and after listening to it, people were silent.
[They’re almost exactly the same! Except for a few bars where the melody has changed, everything else is the same!]
[The lyrics are pretty much the same! There are just a few word changes.]
[Look at the release date! This song was released half a month ago! And “Brave” was released a few days later!]
[Holy cow! What is this? It’s not plagiarism, is it?]
[Who copied who?]
[Anyone who plagiarized should suffer!]
While everyone was in an uproar, there was an update on a certain account.
[I am Gu Lan, Xia Xibei’s a.s.sistant, and the real creator of “Brave.” I just don’t understand when “Brave” became the work of Xia Xibei!]
When this update came out, it triggered a strong reaction.
[c.r.a.p! It’s really plagiarism!]
[a.s.sistant? Is she copying her own a.s.sistant?]
[Oh, her so-called creative talent is actually a talent for plagiarism!]
For a while, the internet was in a frenzy.
